Outreachy with Python

Ideas

Ramya has offered up 3 ideas that she's most excited about:

  1. Develop a unified performance benchmark suite that’s acceptable for both Cpython & PyPy communities.

  2. Analyze the GUPB(Grand Unified Python Benchmarks) for which PyPy’s performance is worse than CPython and see if there is any scope for improvement ( ex: try and replicate cpython methodology)

  3. Improving JitViewer (a profiling tool for PyPy) – capable to attach to a running process.

More details on these coming soon!
